Manga library Singapore

Singapore's first self-service manga library by NLB debuted on 20 February, with a sizable selection of graphic novels and manga comics.

The Kiasu serves as the inspiration for the robot, which was developed by NLB in partnership with the local robotics company Dex-Lab. Thereafter, you will receive a confirmation email.

Instead of an NLB librarian, the library is helmed by a Mr Kiasu robot concierge, who mans his own "booth" next to the entry point of the library. Photo via ...

"I hope they will take the chance to come in to the library and see what we have to offer. There are misconceptions that manga is only for children and teens, but we hope they can be exposed to it and give it a try. We know that some people may find it too daunting to pick up a book, so hopefully with manga's pictorial representation, they might try it and find the story interesting," Tan said. Over time, they taught the robot to produce Singlish words like "lah" or "lor". The manga titles are arranged in alphabetical order, instead of being segregated by authors. The titles there are for browsing only. This pop-up library will be available for the next six months for people to visit. When asked how he felt to see his creation come to life, Lau joked that it originally gave him "nightmares". It can also flex its biceps, flash a "cheese" gesture and give a thumbs-up. The National Library Board (NLB) just opened its first fully self-service library featuring Japanese manga on Feb. It is part of their ongoing NLB mentioned that they are continuing to review and improve the "Grab-n-Go" system, to maximise efficiency and the accuracy of the scanners.

A pop-up library has opened in City Square mall, but you won't be able to borrow any literary classics here. Instead, this library only stocks manga – yup, ...

In a video on TikTok, user @brogantheengineer – an actual chartered structural engineer – explained that while some developments claim… On top of Japanese manga, the pop-up also features a showcase of Singaporean comics – all donated by local comic book collectors. The local food community recently mourned a great loss.

The National Library Board has launched its first manga pop-up library at City Square Mall. It will run till August and features a robot concierge.
